Chapter 60: Farmers
In the early morning in the forest, with a hazy water vapor, it circled around the air several times and formed dew drops and landed on the blades of grass, and the falling leaves trembled.
Chunting got up in a daze, touching something soft in his hand, Chunting suddenly woke up, turned his head and saw Luo Yu in a coma.
Reached out and touched Luo Yu's forehead, although it was still hot, it was not as hot as last night. The white horse was still nearby, and Chunting didn't have that much energy to care about it last night, and it didn't even walk around.
From last noon to now, most of the day without eating, Chunting felt that he was hungry and had no strength, so he stood up with the trunk of the tree and looked around, this forest is not big, and everything gives people a feeling that they can see through it at a glance.
There's nothing to eat anyway.
If you want to find food, you can get a populated place, Chunting remembered that Qiuzhi said that the nearest city to Sanchuan is Lin'an, and they can only travel for a day by carriage and horse, but if it is changed to a foot journey, it will take about six or seven days. Although they have a horse, it's not exciting news either.
Chunting is not an ignorant child, naturally he knows how valuable horses are in this troubled world, and where two people dressed in brocade are placed are eye-catching, but if they are replaced by two commoners walking together, or if a poor couple walks together, it will naturally be different.
But who of the poor can afford to buy horses!
Chunting looked at the white horse with a sad gaze, and wanted to slaughter it and stew it now......
After examining the wounds on Luo Yu's body, he didn't look very optimistic. It was hot right now, and the wound was not getting better, but I was afraid that it would start to rot if it was delayed for so long.
There was no other way, Chun Ting carried the water bladder to the creek, poured a few sips of water hard, and stopped when he felt that his stomach was swollen. Looking down at the water reflecting his appearance, Chunting thought for a moment, untied his loose hair, and put a woman's hair in a bun for himself.
The dew on the tip of the grass has not yet dissipated, the skirt of the spring garden is wet, and the goose-yellow pleated skirt is held on the ground, and from time to time it has to be hooked by passing branches, which is really inconvenient to move. Chun Ting simply pulled up the hem of her skirt and pinned it to her waist, it was indeed unsightly to look at, but no one else could see this wilderness, so how could she take so much into account.
Running back to the tree hole, Chun Ting gritted his teeth and poured half a bag of water on Luo Yu's face. The young man who was still in a coma seemed to feel something, his eyelids moved, and he slowly opened a slit and looked at Chunting in confusion.
Chun Ting hurriedly leaned over, "Little Hou Ye, can you move by yourself?" I'll help you get on your horse, and it's time for us to go. ”
Luo Yu was probably burned and confused, what Chunting said was what he said, he stood up with Chunting's hand, and accidentally pulled the wound on his waist, and his painful facial features were entangled together, but he was still sober.
"Where is this?" Luo Yu's voice was hoarse, and he stared at Chun Ting's face for a long time before he realized who the little girl who was holding him was.
Yesterday was chased and killed in the chaos, just about to get out of the battle circle, I saw this girl lying on the ground like a little snake moving forward little by little, Xu is waist injury is too painful, he was delirious in pain, he reached out and carried the little girl from the ground on the horse, and then he couldn't remember much about what happened after that.
Chunting almost used all her strength, Luo Yu leaned on her, she couldn't hold it up, and when she heard Luo Yu's question, she replied: "The slave doesn't know where this is......"
Finally mixed Luo Yu with the horse, this will make Luo Yu still awake, and it is much easier than last night. Chunting led the horse forward, looking around as she went, thinking that if there were any wild fruits in this forest, it would be good to cushion her stomach, and she would not be picky even if she was green and astringent.
Luo Yu didn't have much time to wake up, and Chunting felt that she was going to faint from hunger, but if she also fell down at this time, what should Luo Yu do? People have rescued her from fire and water several times, and she is not the heartless person, leaving Luo Yu at this time, then she will have a bad conscience for the rest of her life.
It's just that at the moment, it seems that her life will probably not be too long.
The weather is getting hotter, with a round of scorching sun on his head, but he only brought half a bag of water with him, and when he couldn't hold it, he took a small sip and fed Luo Yu again, until about noon, he saw three or two people in front of him. Chunting looked at those families and was moved to tears.
Helping Luo Yu off the horse, Chun Ting took out a free hand and patted the white horse, "You just stay here, I'll take your master away first, you should be careful yourself." ”
Rao is was not until a horse could not understand people's words, and Chun Ting couldn't help but give a few more instructions, and then dragged Luo Yu towards those families.
When I walked in, I saw that there were only seven or eight families in this area, all of them were thatched houses, and no one walked around during the day, not even a village. Chunting helped Luo Yu and knocked on the door of one of them.
"Who, knocking is endless, urging life!" The shrill voice of a woman came from inside the door, and then the wooden door creaked open, revealing the big-shouldered, round-waisted peasant woman behind the door.
Seeing someone there, Chun Ting immediately collapsed on the ground and shouted with a crying voice: "This aunt, you can do it, save us!" ”
Seeing that Chunting said this, the peasant woman raised her hand and was about to close the door, where would Chunting give her such an opportunity, she took two steps forward and hugged the farmer's legs, "Auntie, aunt!" We don't live in your house for nothing, I'll give you money! ”
The peasant woman finally stopped closing the door, and looked at Chunting suspiciously, as if a large amount of Chunting could take out a lot of money.
Chunting quickly took out a silver hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to the peasant woman, "Auntie, I don't know if this is enough, I don't have any silver on me, can I use this to offset it?" ”
The silver hairpin is beaten into the shape of a lotus flower, and the petals are layered on top of each other, and they look tight in the hair. Even if you hold it in your hand, it feels heavy, and it has a lot of weight.
This hairpin was still taken by Qiu Zhi to Cuixiang Building during the Chinese New Year a few years ago, and the reward given by Bai Huanru during the New Year was put into it. Cuixianglou is a time-honored brand, you get what you pay for, this hairpin is made of enough, the autumn branches sometimes can't hold the hairpin, she is also active, and she has lost it once in the yard, and she has never brought it again.
Chunting's head happened to the secret, but I really like this hairpin, there were two of them at that time, but Chunting didn't dare to give it all to this peasant woman, she still had to keep something for Luo Yu to see the injury!
The peasant woman turned sideways and signaled that Chunting could come in, and Chunting was like being pardoned and helped Luo Yu into the house.
"I don't look like you're poor, why did you come to this hellish place?" The peasant woman was still holding the hairpin in her hand, looked Chunting up and down, and asked strangely.
Chun Ting first settled Luo Yu, and pinched his thigh hard, pinching his own tears before returning to the farmer's words, "Slave family, slave family was originally the concubine of my young master, and my young master has been following the master to do business since he was a child. Originally, it was a stable life in the north, but who expected that the old man would have to move south at home, and he encountered mountain bandits on the road, and the slave family finally escaped with the young master......"
In the end, Chunting couldn't cry anymore. She had already drafted this statement on the way, and no one could find fault with it. Nowadays, the situation is turbulent, businessmen are the most sensitive, and there are not a few people who move their families south. Ordinary mountain bandits rarely offend the family's convoy, but robbing an ordinary merchant is not commonplace.
Chunting originally wanted to call Luo Yu as the master, but Luo Yusheng was too young, and at first glance, he looked like a young man, so he could only install the name of a young master.
The peasant woman obviously believed Chunting's words, but after looking at Chunting's face, she asked again: "I see that you are only twelve or thirteen, why are you making people small?" ”
The little girl who sat on the ground and cried was pretty, even if she cried, it was not ugly, the material on her body was not coarse cloth, anyway, this peasant woman had never seen such good material, and the color of her clothes was delicate, and it seemed that the little girl was younger, but she also crossed the woman's head, which looked a little weird.
Chun Ting's hand wiped away his tears stiffly, and he sobbed and said: "The slave family is just a raw and tender face, in fact, the slave family is already sixteen years ......old" Chun Ting paused, and said: "Auntie is afraid that she doesn't know, my young master likes to give birth to tender ......"
The peasant woman immediately made a clear gesture, those rich masters like anything, there are no beauties who want to have money, I heard that those rich men in the city still have a little Langjun with white and red lips by their side.
Seeing that the peasant woman was already convinced of her fabricated identity, Chun Ting struck while the iron was hot, "I wonder if there is Lang Zhong around here?" My young master was injured......"
"Yes, the one on the other side is Langzhong." The peasant woman replied neatly, "You wait here, I'll go and invite you here." ”
Chunting naturally made a grateful appearance, but he was not surprised by the peasant woman's courteous attitude.
The hairpin she just gave, if these are saved, it will be enough for this ordinary farmer to have food and clothing for two months!
said that it was Langzhong, but in fact it was just a barefoot doctor in the countryside, and Chun Tingyuan didn't expect that there would be a doctor in this kind of place, but if there was, it was naturally the best.
Lang Zhonglai showed Luo Yu the injury, and left a few pairs of medicine, Chunting didn't know if the medicine could work, so he could only accompany Lang Zhong to send Lang Zhong away.
There were a few pairs of medicines left in the house, but another hairpin in Chunting was gone.
There are only broken silver and Luo Yu's hair crown left on his body, none of which Chun Ting can take out. It is normal for the merchant's concubine to have some jewelry on her body, but they are all women who do not leave the door and do not step out, and it is very strange to carry silver on her body, not to mention that there is no copper plate in Chunting, it is all silver, and she can't take it out at all.
There was no one in the peasant woman's house, and Chun Ting inquired a little, the peasant woman's husband died of illness a few years ago, and her only son ran away with a girl from another family, leaving her alone as a widow.
